Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Mombasa to Nairobi.

What is the typical flight duration from Mombasa to Nairobi?

The flight from Mombasa to Nairobi is about 263 miles. Nonstop service typically takes about 1 hour in either direction, with no meaningful difference between the outbound and return legs.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Mombasa to Nairobi?

Yes — two airlines currently fly non-stop from Mombasa to Nairobi: Jambojet and Kenya Airways, both operating daily. Jambojet runs 68 weekly flights with departures spread across the day, while Kenya Airways offers 49 weekly flights. Kenya Airways is a SkyTeam member.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Nairobi?

Getting from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi city center is straightforward, with taxis, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt, private transfers, and public buses all available. The most-used option is the public bus, specifically line 34J, which runs frequently and costs just KES 35–40 for the roughly 45–60 minute trip. Taxis and ride-hailing services are the fastest and most convenient, with typical fares around KES 3,000 (about €22), though private transfers offer a fixed-price, pre-arranged alternative. Car rental desks are present at the airport, and hotel shuttles also serve the route.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Mombasa to Nairobi?

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Mombasa to Nairobi — there are no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg either.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Mombasa to Nairobi?

Jambojet and Kenya Airways are the airlines currently scheduled non-stop from Mombasa to Nairobi, with Jambojet operating 68 weekly flights and Kenya Airways 49, both flying daily. Kenya Airways is a SkyTeam member, while Jambojet is not part of any alliance.
Methodology

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Nairobi?

Nairobi has Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as its main gateway, located about 15 km southeast of the city centre. Wilson Airport is a smaller facility closer to downtown, mainly for domestic and regional charter flights. For this route, you will arrive at Jomo Kenyatta.

How do I get to Moi Intl Airport from the city center?

Getting to Moi International Airport from central Mombasa is straightforward, with the airport sitting roughly 10–13 km west of the city along the A109 Mombasa Road. Licensed Kenatco taxis are the most popular and reliable choice, departing from outside the terminals and reaching the city in about 20 minutes; ride-hailing apps like Bolt and Uber also operate at the airport and offer a similarly quick, convenient option. Public buses do not serve the airport, and while informal matatus sometimes run there, they are not recommended due to overcrowding. Driving yourself is possible, with paid short-stay and long-stay parking available at the airport.

Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Nairobi airport?

Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport does not have any hotels directly connected to or inside the terminal buildings. Several hotels are nearby, including the Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport about 0.7 miles away, and the Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport about 1.1 miles away, both offering airport shuttle service. The Hilton Garden Inn Nairobi Airport is another option, located roughly 2.1 miles from the airport, also with a free shuttle.

Are there accessible services or children's facilities at the Mombasa and Nairobi airports?

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Mombasa to Nairobi?

Jambojet operates the most flights on this route, using De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. Kenya Airways flies the Embraer E190.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Mombasa to Nairobi?

Kenya Airways, a SkyTeam member, and Jambojet are the airlines currently scheduled non-stop on the Mombasa to Nairobi route, with daily service from both. Jambojet belongs to no alliance, so SkyTeam is the only alliance represented on this route; other alliances may serve it via connections.

It has air conditioning, complimentary hot coffee, water, juice, soft drinks, sandwiches, danish, and hot items like chicken and potatoes, with restrooms inside but no showers and liquor available at an extra charge. The Safari VIP Lounge serves international passengers but is temporarily closed, while the Bosphorus Lounge is the other international option. Children under six are admitted free to both the Safari Comfort and Safari VIP lounges.
